States of Matter (solids, liquids and gases)

A useful clip to watch to learn more about Matter - the subject we are studying in Science at the moment. You have to love that British accent!

This one mentions the 4th State of Matter.

Tech' Arts - Art and ICT

This Term A group are attending Food Technology on Tuesdays and ICT on Thursdays. B group are going to Materials and Art.

In Art, Mrs Kingsley has been teaching us all the different techniques and strategies – like sketching, shading and smudging. Over the past 2 weeks we have been creating Polynesian patterns. In our Art work we have used traditional patterns and colours like they used in the old times- browns, whites and greens.

I’m looking forward to learning more in Art this year

For the past few weeks at ICT with Mr Knapman we have been learning how to make a practise slide show.

We are also learning to research a small animal.

 These are some of the things we have to research about the animal we have chosen.

·        What it eats

·        Its life cycle

·        What likes to eat it?

·        Its scientific classification

And lots more stuff.

We learn how to copy pictures and paste them; get information, use power point and Microsoft,

We also learn how to edit pictures, make headings  use hyperlink and use the keyboard for pretty much anything. ICT is the place to be.

7 is the lucky number!

The softball team did it - won the Year 7 interclass Trophy - for the 7th time in the past 10 years !

 

House Captains:

The House Captains for 2014 were announced in Assembly and they were presented with their badges. So how are House Captains chosen??
Possible House Captains are nominated at the end of Year 7 by their class teachers. This year they had to fill in an application form too. These were given to the House teachers who then narrowed the candidates down to 5-6. These names were taken to Staff meetings and the staff commented on their suitability for the job. The House teachers then selected their final 4 'House Captains'.
Naturally Mrs Puke was more than just a little bit happy to see so many old Room 10's get selected!- 7 to be exact!
They were pretty happy about it too by the looks of these pics ( well maybe not Jaxon - the thought of having to be a perfect role model all year might be worrying him ???)

 

 

The last softball game

The softball team played their final game today against a depleted Room 16 team - as we were missing 3 of our star players that was probably a good thing. Luckily some wonderful batting from the Manu boys, Fellan and Nevada ( our sole girl player!) meant a Room 10 victory as unfortunately today our fielding wasn't our greatest. Still a win is a win!

Portraits, Tiki's, and Softball 2014

Room 10 students had to 'recreate themselves' using pastels, the end results were interesting...

'About Me' tiki's were created to present information about our interests, family and likes and dislikes. These ones were some of the best...

Interclass softball has been played over the past few weeks at lunch times, Room 10 has had wins over Rooms 9, 12 and 17 - our final game is this Thursday against Room 17. Room 10 has a history of winning the softball trophy - here's hoping ...
